The National D-Day Memorial sponsored its first Honor Flight this month.

Honor Flight is a national organization that takes elderly veterans to Washington D. C. where they visit sites such as the World War II Memorial, the Korean War Memorial and “The Wall.” The tour group from Bedford did not fly. They rode on a chartered bus.
They included six World War II veterans, one Korean War Veteran and four Vietnam veterans.

Staunton River did not have a whole lot of answers when it came to stopping the William Byrd offense. The Terriers got off to an early start and quickly had plenty of points to show for it and in the process held Staunton River scoreless for the first time all season.

William Byrd scored 14 points in each of the first three quarters with three runs of less than 10 yards and three runs of over 20 yards.

The Staunton River Lady Golden Eagle volleyball team hosted William Fleming in the Wild Card round, of sorts, of the Blue Ridge District Tournament. The winner moves on to face Lord Botetourt while the loser’s season comes to a close.

With the benefit of homecourt advantage Staunton River took down its Blue Ridge rival in straight sets, 25-17, 25-6, 26-24.

At no point in the night was the Jefferson Forest Volleyball team ever truly scared in the opening round of the Seminole District Tournament. The Lady Cavaliers, the district’s top seed, dominated from start to finish and took down Heritage in straight sets (25-11, 25-13, 25-19).

The Jefferson Forest Cavaliers opened the 2018 season going 49 days without losing a football game. Following a 44-36 loss to Seminole District rival Brookville, the Cavaliers have now dropped two straight in a seven-day span.
